Has anyone listened to the re-issues of the aforementioned albums? I own all of the original CD versions of them but was wondering if any of the re-issues are worth getting. I am familiar with the "loudness wars" and how a lot of  CD re-issues have been tained with this phenomenon. Are any of these re-issues victims of this catastrophe?

It's not terrible sounding, but it's not an improvement.

The Ten reissue is god-awful.

If you are looking for improvements get the Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs Nevermind and the Japan Ten catalog number SRCS 5634.  They are not major improvements, but they sound better to me. As a bonus on Ten you get a cover of The Beatles "I've Got a Feeling" not found anywhere else.
